Even an animated high school isn’t free from discrimination, with Season 2, Episode 2 taking on bathroom issues for transgender issues. Things get tense and it’s time for action when some of the McTucky students get upset about one of their genderqueer classmates using what they consider to be the wrong bathroom.
Alongside the release of the episode, the makers of McTucky made the statement, ‘In the wake of the mass shoot of the LGBTQIA+ Latinx club Pulse in Orlando, FL just days prior, it is important now more than ever to lift up queer and trans voices, people of color, show solidarity and priority for the lives and issues that are too often silenced, overlooked and worse, killed. McTucky stands in solidarity with the Orlando community and in the movement for decades of bring attention to the violence and discrimination that impacts our communities.’
